Question 1

What type of meat should I use to make meatballs for my sub?

Accepted Answer

A combination of beef and pork works well for meatball subs. You can also use ground turkey or chicken if you prefer.

Question 2

How do I make my meatballs stay together?

Accepted Answer

Mixing in bread crumbs and eggs can help bind the meatballs together. You can also try chilling the meat mixture before shaping the meatballs to help them hold their shape.

Question 3

What kind of bread should I use for the sub?

Accepted Answer

Traditionally, a soft Italian or French bread is used for meatball subs. However, you can use any type of bread that you prefer or have on hand.

Question 4

Can I use store-bought marinara sauce instead of making my own?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use store-bought marinara sauce to save time. However, making your own sauce allows you to customize the flavors to your liking.

Question 5

How do I prevent my meatballs from becoming tough?

Accepted Answer

Overworking the meat mixture can make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined and avoid over-mixing.

Question 6

Can I make meatball subs ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

You can assemble the subs ahead of time, but wait to bake them until just before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy. Leftover meatballs and sauce can be stored separately in the refrigerator and reheated when ready to use.

Question 7

How can I add more flavor to my meatballs?

Accepted Answer

Adding ingredients like grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, or chopped fresh herbs like basil or parsley can add more flavor to your meatballs.

Question 8

How can I prevent my meatballs from falling apart while cooking?

Accepted Answer

Make sure the meatballs are well-shaped and not too large. Cooking the meatballs on low heat and using a non-stick pan can also help prevent them from falling apart.

Question 9

When does Meatball Subs expire?

Accepted Answer

A store-bought, packaged meatball sub generally comes with a printed 'Use By' date, so make sure check that and consume it before that date. Once opened, consumed within 1-2 days for best taste and safety. If you decided to freeze it (which is an entirely acceptable method of preservation), your meatball sub can last up to 1-2 months. If homemade, bear in mind that the 'shelf life' is considerably shorter, usually about 3-4 days at best in the fridge. For freezer storage, you can expect around 1 month of food safety and quality.

Question 10

How do you tell if Meatball Subs is bad?

Accepted Answer

Your senses are your best guide here. If the sub smells off, discard it. The presence of mold, unnatural discoloration, or a slimy texture on any of the constituent parts of the sub (the bread, meatballs, sauce, or cheese) are clear indicators that it is no longer safe to eat.

Question 11

Tips for storing Meatball Subs to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Store your meatball subs in airtight containers or aluminum foil to keep them fresh.

• When storing in the freezer, make sure to squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing the bag or container to prevent freezer burn.

• If freezing, consider separating into serving-size portions before freezing to make it easier to defrost only what you need for the next meal.

• Reheat your meatball sub in the oven or toaster oven rather than the microwave to prevent it from becoming too soggy.
